Star Wars - an acapella tribute to John Williams

Corey Vidal's job is to make entertaining videos for YouTube - and get paid for it.

Vidal, 21, is from Ontario, Canada, and is an offical YouTube Partner, which means the site pays him to make videos. He is also a dancer and choreographer, and has been dancing since he was twelve. He is also a singer, but his latest video, a tribute to musician John Williams, required a little more than his usual talents.



Enter a capella group Moosebutter - "we sound like baldness feels", their Web site claims. Vidal and Moosebutter got together and choreographed an entire four-minute-plus performance to make it look like Vidal himself was singing all four parts.

"The video was challenging to memorize," Vidal said. "Not only to break down and remember all four parts perfectly, but to try and do it so well that people wouldn't know it wasn't real. We definitely succeeded at this."
